HC Deb 30 July 1975 vol 896 cc496-7W
Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether he will make a statement about recruiting to the Royal Ulster Constabulary and the RUC Reserve.

Mr. Moyle

During the first six months of this year 173 recruits were accepted for the RUC and 1,434 for the RUC reserve. During the same period in 1974 the corresponding figures were 154 and 164. Recruitment to the RUC has settled at a satisfactory level.
